During the runup it will pull the engine speed down (go to coarse pitch), but will sometimes not come back. After sitting for enough time to thoroughly cool it will work normally. It has never been a problem in flight. This happened once when the prop was relatively new and Aerocomposites took it back for repair. Now a year later it has happened again. Anyone else had a similar problem? Aerocomposites said my prop was the first one with that problem.
